HAPPY FOUR YEARS TO US!

Today marks our 4th year of marriage. Not four amazingly easy years, but four years of leaning on God and following His plan for marriage. It takes day-by-day trying and praying but we've made it this far by faith.


Celebrate with us by purchasing a copy of our special marriage building tool, TRUTH AND INTIMACY: A COUPLE'S JOURNAL book. Order in the sidebar. God bless and keep you all!

What does commitment mean if it isn't tried? Unfortunately, most of us make commitments based upon favorable circumstances. That's common. It can be found anywhere. But marriage isn't for those who cannot endure tough times. Commitment is a promise that remains in place rather times are good or bad, prosperous or skim, rather in times of health or illness, times of boredom or excitement. Commitment isn't commitment if it cannot endure trials.


In these times, everyone is looking for someone to believe in them, to witness their lives, to understand their pain, to share in their joys and stand beside them when all others run away. That is supposed to be the beauty of marriage. Today, renew your commitment with your mate. Don't wait on some ceremony or big date. Do it now and do it everyday. Don't see yourself as a lone person anymore. See yourself as part of an entity much larger and greater than you and stay fully invested in it.


If you need more encouragement, pick up a copy of our book, Truth and Intimacy: A Couple's Journal in the sidebar or on Amazon.com. We look forward to helping other couples and to all feedback. God bless!

Do Your First Works AGAIN

Do you remember the times when you sent each other love letters, texts, emails or all of the above? In the beginning, you sat around and thought of things to do to impress your amante, your lover. You wanted to please him/her. You wanted to win the heart and the mind of this person. What happened?


Did you allow life to come in and rob you of your romantic connection with your spouse? Did hard times steal the joy from your relationship? It doesn't have to remain that way. It's never too late to pick up where you left off, even if it does feel awkward and out-of-place. Just like in the beginning, you can choose to make your lover's thoughts and feelings important again. You can choose to please the person you share your bed with in new ways. It's really just a choice, albeit a difficult one if it has been awhile since you two shared that kind of bonding. Nevertheless, don't let it be said that you had the tools to work your marriage out yet refused to use them.


If you hadn't already, use the ordering link in the sidebar and get a copy of our marriage book, Truth and Intimacy: A Couple's Journal, and be blessed with encouraging techniques to improve your relationship today!

Truth and Intimacy Testimonial

We received another testimonial of our book, Truth and Intimacy: A Couple's Journal. Please read below and feel free to share it on your blog, website or social networking site.

My husband and I were on the brink of divorce. I am so happy I heard about your book on Facebook through a mutual friend. We were both a little reluctant so we skilled all the reading and headed straight to the back where the interactive exercises were. After the second one, we discovered a whole lot of misconceptions about one another. We went back and read the book, doing one chapter a day and trying to apply it. Things improved by day 10, chapter 10. Now that we've completed the book, we have a new understanding and a closer marriage. Great book.   ~ Shirley, a Facebook user

Repair Your Foundation

I'm a firm believer that foundation matters most. When I look at crumbling marriages, often I see cracks in the foundation. Someone got caught up. They didn't dig deep enough to build a solid foundations. They didn't level the ground like they should have. They weren't careful when pouring the cement. So, the marriage is now in jeopardy because it got off on the wrong foot.

One great thing about marriage, unlike buildings, you can always go back and repair what has been damaged. If both parties are willing, there is no pain too great to heal, particularly if there is a faith relationship with God involved. Of course, I'm not talking about the hideous things that happen like rape, molestation or such. I'm talking about those everyday nagging pests that hinder you and your spouse from bonding and forming a real union.

In our book, Truth and Intimacy: A Couple's Journal, my husband and I explore the issues of going back to the beginning and starting over. It is possible, and can be a wonderful experience. If you're married, don't give up because you're tired, frustrated and angry. Fight harder and determine within yourself that your spouse and family are worth fighting for - even if you must fight yourself or by yourself for awhile.

Welcome to the Book Launch Party

We are delighted to be launching our book, Truth and Intimacy: A Couple's Journal. This book is a super special marriage-building tool.

Summary: Weddings happen in a day, but building a happy and healthy marriage takes a lifetime and much diligence. It takes sacrifice and love, understanding and patience, all of which is are traits that must be developed. This book is about developing the traits necessary to have a successful marriage.

Most couples don't get married with the intention of getting a divorce one day, but sadly most people have experienced at least one failed marriage. This book helps prevent that by teaching couples how to relate to one another.

This book has it all, marriage advice, stories from real couples, scriptural references, discussion points, and a question/answer/journal section for couples to identify their strengths and weaknesses and make adjustments.


Today, we make a big push for a book that we believe can help revolutionize your marriage.
